Did Version 1.32.3.7162 (6/5/23) Mess up LiveTV DVR Service for anyone else?

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

Server Version#: 1.32.3.7162
Player Version#:
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

Ever since ‘the update’, playing back a recorded Live TV program has not worked as well at it used to, Lots of ‘whirlygigs’, slow response, almost faster to watch the commercials than skip them. Quite a few “playback Error” messages also.

Any ideas? Thanks

I may have noticed this. In the timeframe that I was on 1.32.3.7162 I noticed slowness with Plex. (I’m on Linux.) I remember thinking that I wanted to look at my server to see if it was general server slow performance or just Plex, but I was swamped and just didn’t find time. The issues I saw were that it was taking several extra seconds to load on each resume/skip, and once I saw a failure where we were watching a recorded show that froze, then a load circle came up, then it exited back to the show’s Plex episode screen. I’ve never seen that particular issue happen before with Plex.

I haven’t seen these issues the last couple days, and it may have been resolved when I went to the 1.32.4.7164 beta. Unfortunately I wasn’t at all methodical in this case to confirm that the version change was the fix.

Thanks for your response.

I’m using a circa 2017 QNAP TS-251+ with a 6TB RAID 1. I’m also a retired engineer who really can’t afford the $4k+ to upgrade my system. Extremely unfamiliar with Linux, can’t even tell you what version I’m on!

As a Lifetime Plex Pass holder, I have no choice but to hope future releases will improve the issues I’m having. Hasn’t even been a year since I “cut the cord”, already having problems!

Thanks for anything you can do. DB

Have you tried the 1.32.4.7164 beta of Plex Media Server to see if it helps your issue?

I just installed 7164 beta. Nothing is scheduled to record until tonight. We’ll see how it works tomorrow!

Thanks!

Hallelujah! Works better than ever! Please don’t let the production version “fix” anything else to do with Live TV recording/playback!

Thank again for your help.
